What to power my 2 8" kicker and focal speakers?
any suggestions on what ampilifers suited to powering my 2 8" kicker L7 Solobaric?
i'm planning on using 2 mono amp both kicker and a 2 channel amp for my focal speakers. Kicker KX600.1 $250 X 2 $500 Kicker KX120.2 - 2 Channel Amplifier $ 150 or is there any alternatives? i think this is a bit of a waste though... but i was wondering if anyone could give me a 'well-known' product that's easy to find [because i live in a country where car audios weren't very popular] and have a good re-sell value [in case i am bored/wanted upgrades i could easily sold them]. thanks ppl.

Re: What to power my 2 8" kicker and focal speakers?
out of curiosity why would you get two 600.1s? your subs cant handle that much power.. i mean im sure you could just be easy on the gains.. but it seems like a waste of money.. i would look for a single mono that would get you about 900-1000 watts.. rather than two which would give you 600.. especially if youre sticking with mainstream amps liek kickers which are a little overpriced IMO.

Re: What to power my 2 8" kicker and focal speakers?
the reason on why i am using 2 X 600.1 amp is that i wanted the max possible amount of power from my sub [because it's 8"
 ]. any other input? or reccomendations for amplifiers? preferably mainstream products..

Re: What to power my 2 8" kicker and focal speakers?
It's rated for 1000rms@1ohm but is a little overrated. Will do more like 800 and that's good cuz I wouldn't run Kickers at full rms power. And there's no need to go blow tons of money on Kicker amps when the Hifonics will do the trick for cheaper.

Re: What to power my 2 8" kicker and focal speakers?
Well, if you WERE looking at spending near $650...you might as well get something better than hifonics at least.
What i'd look for: Phoenix Gold Tantrum or Titanium line Something like this for the speakers: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...753291927&rd=1 or http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...752192810&rd=1 Maybe this for the subs: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...753538137&rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...753410326&rd=1 or http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...753382567&rd=1 Personally, I would get the PG TI400.2 and the TI800.2 EXCELLENT amplifiers, work great for your situation!
